Diazepam is a benzodiazepine (ben-zoe-dye-AZE-eh-peens). It affects chemicals in the brain that may be unbalanced in people with anxiety. Diazepam is used to treat anxiety disorders, alcohol withdrawal symptoms, or muscle spasms. Diazepam is sometimes used with other medications to treat seizures. Diazepam may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
The most common form of myelopathy in human, cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM), is caused by arthritic changes (spondylosis) of the cervical spine, which result in narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis) ultimately causing compression of the spinal cord.
This is a progressive degenerative condition affecting the spinal cord caused by vitamin B12 deficiency. The degeneration may also involve the brain, the nerves of the eyes and the peripheral nerves. Initially the myelin sheath is damaged, followed by the degeneration of the axons (nerves). The initial symptoms of this condition are usually tingling sensation and numbness felt on both sides and clumsy movements.
